SELECT POETRY. THE MAN OF HIS WORD. You may speak of the great ones of cartb, Of prelates, of princes, and kings ; I doubt not there's something of worth In the bosom of all human tilings ; But dearer to me than the whole Of pageantry, splendour, and pride, Is the man with a frank, honest soul, Who never his word had belied. Tea, prized above all that this earth can afford, Though lowly and poor, is the man of his word.
